Psalms 116

1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voyce and my prayers.

Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:

2 For he hath inclined his eare vnto me, whe I did call vpon him in my dayes.

uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.

3 When the snares of death copassed me, and the griefes of the graue caught me: when I founde trouble and sorowe. (Sheol h7585)

Užeta smrti sapeše me, stegoše me zamke Podzemlja, snašla me muka i tjeskoba. (Sheol h7585)

4 Then I called vpon the Name of the Lord, saying, I beseech thee, O Lord, deliuer my soule.

Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”

5 The Lord is mercifull and righteous, and our God is full of compassion.

Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.

6 The Lord preserueth the simple: I was in miserie and he saued me.

Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.

7 Returne vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the Lord hath bene beneficiall vnto thee,

Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.

8 Because thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling.

On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.

9 I shall walke before the Lord in the lande of the liuing.

Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.

10 I beleeued, therefore did I speake: for I was sore troubled.

Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”

11 I said in my feare, All men are lyers.

U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”

12 What shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefites toward me?

Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?

13 I will take the cup of saluation, and call vpon the Name of the Lord.

Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.

14 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people.

Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saintes.

Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.

16 Beholde, Lord: for I am thy seruant, I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thine handmaide: thou hast broken my bondes.

Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.

17 I will offer to thee a sacrifice of prayse, and will call vpon the Name of the Lord.

Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.

18 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people,

Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,

19 In the courtes of ye Lords house, euen in the middes of thee, O Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
